Hi All,
I wonder if anyone of you Heroes and Doers have good and effective solution to the problem, same time not causing overloading the system.
In some cases, WDR is used to change the expiration date. A raw material, has a maximum shelf life when sealed—let’s say 1 year. However, once opened, it remains fresh for only 2 months. How to prevent the system from issuing new WDR beyond maximum shelf life?
Example Scenario:
A bag of chocolate chips is received with a 1-year expiry originally sealed. When a product is received in the warehouse, it has assigned an expiration date based on its full shelf life. This date is stored in IFS under the batch/lot information.
When is being moved from Stores location to floor location, system will treat it as opened, and to be be used within 2 months. A WDR Change - Receipt updates its expiry from 12 months to 2 months.
A bag of chocolate chips is received with a 1-year expiry when sealed. It stayed in the warehouse for 11 months, it has one 1 month left. When moved, the system might change the date to 2 months because is opened. How to make sure it will give only the maximum shelf life inherited from the original date?
When stock is moved or repackaged, we want IFS to apply a new shelf life based on its status change (e.g., from sealed to opened). However, if the item is already close to expiration (e.g., 11 months into a 12-month shelf life), the system should not assign a new expiry date that extends beyond the original maximum shelf life.
Thank you all in advance for your time and help.
Krystian,
